When she throughs the ESC code, she wants to die when I let off the gas. DO you think its the knock sensor. Where can I get one cheaper than the dealer ($92)?

FB,

On a '90 and newer car, you can temprarily install a 3.9k ohm resistor in place of the DT sensor for troubleshooting. On older (MAF) cars the value is 100K ohms.

Is the DT sensor the knock sensor? I replaced the knock sensor and it didn't help. I'm starting to think its the ignition modual.

Temporarily? I want to fix it for good. Could the ignition modual be causing the same symptoms?
